Germany have won each of their last nine meetings with Luxembourg, scoring 41 goals. Die Roten Löwen's sole victory over die Mannschaft came in Déifferdeng in March 1939, six months before the outbreak of WWII.
Luxembourg vs Germany preview
Can Germany move three points closer to World Cup qualification? Back in September, die Nationalelf began this campaign by losing a World Cup qualifier away from home for the very first time, defeated 2-0 by Slovakia at Národný futbalový štadión. At this point, Julian Nagelsmann's team were left with very little margin for error and, so far, they've avoided any further slip ups.
Since then, the four-times world champions have won three out of three in Group A, beating Northern Ireland 3-1 in Köln and then Luxembourg 4-0 in Sinsheim. Last time out, Nick Woltemade's header from a corner was enough to see them leave Belfast with all three points, surviving a Northern Irish onslaught towards the end at Windsor Park. This all leaves Germany top of the section, albeit above Slovakia by virtue of goal difference alone. The two clash at Red Bull Arena in Leipzig on Monday night, which could decide who is going to the World Cup, making victory in Gasperich vital.
As for Luxembourg, they hold the unwanted world record for most major tournaments entered without ever actually qualifying for one. This is the 38th World Cup or Euros they have attempted to feature at, but their long wait for a debut at either will go on. That is because, Jeff Strasser's side have lost all four matches in Group A, scoring one goal and conceding ten, most-recently defeated 2-0 by Slovakia at Štadión Antona Malatinského last month.
The Red Lions are thereby now winless in 11 competitive games, dating back two years, and are already looking towards a two-legged tie with Malta in March, needing victory in that to avoid relegation to Nations League D, the competition's bottom tier. Thus, it would be a major surprise if Germany did not cruise to victory at Stade de Luxembourg on Friday night.
